Taxonomy and systematics of the fungus-growing ant associate < em > Escovopsis < /em > ( < em > Hypocreaceae < /em > )

This study fills an important gap in the systematics of Escovopsis that will allow future researchers to unravel the genetic and morphological diversity and species diversification of these attine ant symbionts.
